On Saturday a boating accident happened in my town (about 3 minutes away from where I live). A whaler, going at a really high speed, hit a buoy which sent multiple passengers overboard. A 7 year old girl was one of two who died as a result (it seems her father's girlfriend also passed away). The...
It was Maine's only globe! They were the only team from Maine to attend Worlds this year. They're also the 2nd gym from Maine to ever attend Worlds (Planet Cheer used to go to Worlds but they no longer exist).

I'm currently trying to write down all the teams I want to make sure to watch and the times at which they compete. I would love to try to watch (online not in person sadly) all of the teams which everyone's CPs are on.
The teams I currently know of are:
ECE M5
WCSS, WC Suns
Senior Elite, Coed...
Did Top Dog Rain's dance music just say "don't you wanna come and get high with me?" I thought I heard it wrong the first time they said it in the dance but It was said again a few seconds later...

Why hasn't varsity tv uploaded any of the routines from today to on demand? Last week for cheersport they were available within an hour or two of performance. Teams that went this morning, like the junior 5s, aren't even uploaded yet...

The gym I cheered at for all 13 years I did all star, which is owned by my aunt, just was awarded an at large bid to worlds! This is the first year they've ever had a Worlds team, and this was their first bid competition! They're in the extra-small coed division. I'm so happy for them! Only one...
I have never seen so many tumbling deductions or near deductions in my life. Most from the right hand corner. Guys keep going out to check the mats but don't seem to be doing anything about it or finding anything wrong. So many tumbling falls...

As someone who is not a coach or a parent, my one contribution to this is a quote from Elaine Pascale in the Twinkles Chasing Perfection documentary, "we're responsible for their emotional development as well, as coaches we have to take that into consideration."

@justpeachy I'm so sorry for what your daughter experienced. I applaud you for taking responsibility for your part in the situation, and admit you made some wrong decisions. I wish healing and happiness for you both.
Side note: were you/your daughter at cheer Alliance back in December? I was at...
I've noticed that when some athletes age out they try to sell old practice wear and uniforms since they no longer have a use for them. He must buy them through those sites...super creepy. I checked to make sure he wasn't following anyone I know who still cheers, thankfully he wasn't.

Isn't NCA usually the one comp each year that posts day 1 and then day 2 scores for all teams? I could've sworn their results always came with scores, on both days...

I'm 99% sure I sat right by you and your CP during the Alliance part (I was sitting on the floor & had a Hamilton beanie on and I was with ECE people). A WC coach came to sit next you at one point (if it truly was you), Rich I think is his name? He was hilarious. I'm really shy/socially anxious...
Just found out the comp tonight is sold out and we don't have tickets...pretty sure my dreams of seeing wcss live are being crushed...
ETA: if anyone knows of someone who has a ticket they don't actually need, i would love to pay them for it

I'm spectating at this comp! Traveling with an ECE M5 family! I can't wait to finally see my absolute favorite team ever perform in person, World Cup Shooting Stars, and to also play the Hamilton lottery for 3 days and maybe get to see the show again!
